Graphic Design in Illustrator
D0-512
Adobe Illustrator is a program used by graphic designers to create vector images. These images can be typically used to create illustrations, charts, graphs, logos, diagrams, cartoons of real photographs, and more. Creating vector images allows you to create clean, beautiful works of art that can be scaled up and down infinitely without ever losing quality. This makes Adobe Illustrator a more ideal program for companies than other graphic design applications since they can create images and logos that can be small enough to be a tiny icon or large enough to appear on a billboard.
Graphic Design in InDesign
D0-513
Adobe InDesign is specifically used for laying out printed materials. This could be brochures, newsletters, ads, business cards, or books (virtually anything that is made up of a combination of blocks of text, photos, or other artwork). Its purpose is to take the elements that you create in Illustrator and Photoshop and put them together in one place for personal or professional printing. That includes printing to desktop printers all the way up to the high-end printing and plating systems of real-world print shops. InDesign offers controls and settings printers use to ensure that your work will print properly regardless of the print device.
